Winton Woods alumni soccer players wanted for game

The call is out for alumni soccer players from Winton Woods, Greenhills and Forest Park high schools to take part in the third annual Winton Woods Alumni Soccer Game on Saturday, Aug. 10, at the Winton Woods High School Stadium.

"We're looking for old-school soccer players to take on the current varsity boys and girls soccer teams," said event coordinator Keith Richburg. "We welcome all Warriors, Chargers, and Pioneers!"

Richburg said the event is "a fundraiser to help the current soccer Warriors enjoy some of the support we all had that helped our programs compete."

Alumni player fees for this year are $47 for graduates of 2008 and earlier, and $37 for graduates of 2009 and younger. "Your player fee includes a keepsake player jersey, during-the-match refreshments, post game pizza, and a donation to the Warrior soccer program."

Richburg said many details of the day are still being worked out, but he hopes to finalize the roster of players by Saturday, July 27. To participate:

? Indicate an e-mail address and telephone number where you can be contacted

? Indicate your shirt size

"Anyone interested in participating must follow the information we've requested to be put on a roster," said Richburg. "We cannot go on word of mouth alone. We'll also be following up with specific information for our players and volunteers as it develops."

The date of the alumni game also coincides with the Annual Forest Park/Greenhills/ Winton Woods Barbecue. "People can play or watch some great, old soccer, then go get your grub on," said Richburg. "This is a great chance to enjoy spending time and catching up with friends."
